Benefits of technology

[0043] In other words, this avoids lengthy discussions between the moderator units as regards the allocation of a communication right, as occur in accordance with the prior art. According to the invention, it is thus also possible for an overall decision to always be unambiguously provided using simple means, even when there are a multiplicity of telecommunication subscribers.

Problems solved by technology

Current push to talk (PTT) systems and conference systems according to the prior art have the disadvantage, in particular, that the communication rights can be allocated using one and only one moderator unit.
The conference is then informed of the decision, in which case this operation of informing the conference is not effected automatically and the process of coming to a decision may require lengthy discussions.
